Took a long time to recover. You know, I’m not a Civil War buff. I think it was a horrible, horrible thing that happened in this country. But you would be amazed that as recently as 10 or 15 years ago, and maybe even today if I had to be honest, there are people who still fight the Civil War. Then along comes the zoo, and an interesting thing happened. It took me a while to figure it out. Like me, there was no culture of visiting a zoo by people who were born and raised in Columbia. Now we had people who moved to Columbia from Chicago or wherever, and they went to Lincoln Park, went to Brookfield.
